Asking Allah’s Forgiveness Between 70 & 100 Times A Day | Mufti Menk

#MuftiMenk mentions that a day will definitely come when all of us have to depart from this world and if we look at the life of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we will come to learn that putting into practice what he did is the most beneficial thing for us one of the things he used to do on a daily basis was seeking the forgiveness of allah (swt). You and I know he had no sins but he still asked Allah (swt)’s forgiveness seeking of forgiveness would actually nullify or should I say delete cancel the sins that we have committed and they are plenty when you do good deeds for the sake of Allah they automatically delete the minor sins that you may have been committing as Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’ala tells us…..

Mufti Menk Quotes in this lecture, “I will feel the care within my heart for everyone and the love and the concern to help them to correct them to guide them if they’re doing wrong or to learn from them where I am faltering; but I’m filled with love, I’m filled with kindness; I’m not filled with hate and an ill feeling, I’m not filled with that which is negative but rather that which is absolutely positive for the sake of Allah. Life is too short and our duties are many so to love obeying Allah, to love goodness for others, to love for others what you would love for yourself. All these are part and parcel of the purification of this beautiful heart”.
